Creating a Patient list
A patient list may be created off-line using standard office productivity software (e.g.
Microsoft Office Excel) and saved in a comma separated variable format for importing a
larger list of patients.
Import patients from a CSV format requires the following columns of data:
• PatientId – Contains unique identification for a patient.
• FirstName – Specifies first name of patient.
• LastName – Specifies last name of patient.
• Gender – Specifies patient gender.
• DOB(MM/dd/yyyy) – Specifies birth date of patient in “MM/dd/yyyy” format.
• Unit – Specifies unit of patient location.
• Facility – Specifies facility of patient location.
• Building – Specifies building of patient location.
• Floor – Specifies floor of patient location.

The following text block example below describes the format required within the first line,
which is also a required line at the top of the CSV file.
Caution Importing of patients is not used for standard clinical workflow, but is
described herein and may be used for exercise during testing or demonstration
purposes. Use standard ADT message communication to populate patient lists
whenever possible.
